Trump’s State Of The Union Gets Brutal Review From New York Daily News

The New York Daily News’ review of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address is in. And the president probably won’t enjoy his hometown newspaper’s take on Tuesday’s speech.

For its Wednesday cover, the New York tabloid used the headline, “What A Load Of Clap,” with a photograph of Trump applauding his own address:

Trump repeatedly clapped at his own comments during the speech, a fact that did not go unnoticed on Twitter.

The Daily News’ has fiercely criticized Trump since before his 2016 election victory. It has previously used its cover to depict Trump as a clown, call him “racist” and “stupid,” and brand his feud with former White House strategist Steve Bannon a “cuck fight.”

What Donald Trump said (and didn’t say) about tech in State of the Union

Immigration, tax cuts and crime loomed large in President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union Address, but technology and innovation went unmentioned tonight during a speech that lasted nearly an hour and a half.

The word “science” was used once, toward the end, when Trump paid tribute to the American people. “They push the bounds of science and discovery,” he said.

There was no mention of space exploration, as there was when Trump addressed Congress last year soon after taking office. The impacts of climate change, artificial intelligence and automation — trends that are already reshaping the nation and the world — went unaddressed. Not a word was spoken about the internet or net (non-)neutrality.

Such omissions didn’t sit well with science policy experts such as Rush Holt, a former Democratic congressman who now serves as the CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
